Templates: Where can I find them on Windows?


Recommended Posts

You're in New. You want to be in Templates; it's another of the icons on the left side of that dialog.

Yes, I know. And I created this "TEST_Template" there ... Where can I find it on my hard drive to be able to make a backup? :/

At the bottom of that screen there's an Add Folder button. Click it, and you can point it to the folder you save your templates in.

Further to what Walt has said, this is what the less than obvious button looks like in the Templates section of the New File dialog.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

It is not clear from what you have mentioned so far, but if you just created a new document preset named "TEST_Template" (or "!TEST_Template" like in your first screenshot) in the New Document window you did not create a *.aftemplate file. 

The only way to create a *.aftemplate file is to open a document (from a preset or whatever), set it up however you want, & from the File menu choose Export as Template....

When you do that you will be able to choose whatever folder you want to save the template into into. Do that & then like @walt.farrell mentioned, use the Add Folder button to add that folder to the Templates section of the file dialog.
